2. 50BESTCOMPANIES
TO SELL FOR
For the 16th
year, the corporate research team at
Selling Power has identified and ranked the best
companies to sell for among the top sales forces in
the United States. The list encompasses companies
of all sizes – with sales forces ranging from fewer
than 100 salespeople to companies with sales-force
numbers in the thousands.
To gather data, the Selling Power research team
issued an extensive and newly expanded question-
naire to executives in sales, training, and human
resources. The questions focused on the areas of
customer growth and retention; hiring, compensa-
tion, sales training, and enablement; and company
recognition and reputation.
As expected, our detailed rating system placed
the top companies extremely close, with only 12
points overall separating the top 10 companies.
Hormel Foods landed in the top spot this year. In
cases of a tie in the overall point rankings, the com-
panies were placed in alphabetical order.
Anyone looking for a job in sales should leverage
the Selling Power list of the 50 Best Companies to
Sell For to find the best place to achieve success.
